Help us with housing and health

Hello,

I didn't want to resort to asking others for help, but this situation has progressively worsened. Since I am asking, I would like to explain. Everything here started back in 2023. In July 2023, my cat was diagnosed with cancer, and at the time I was living wherever I could to get by while my ex helped me to house her. Cancer is not cheap, nor were the costs of getting her diagnosed and on a treatment plan. This also came after her initial dental surgery turned biopsy. This is when Luci was diagnosed with oral SCC. We decided to perform a CT scan, get temporary pain medication, and eventually settled on chemotherapy twice a week and pain medication daily. We are continuing with this treatment and plan to for as long as she seems content. I am so grateful for all of the doctors who helped us then, but this is when I started to go into debt. I have been laid off many times since 2020 and typically work multiple jobs. I am continuing to look for a job that offers more stability. Since 2020, I have gone through many seasonal, temporary, and jobs that don't give me the hours they said they would. I love my position now, but it is still low-paying and the hours are unpredictable. In February 2024, I moved back in with my mom, hoping to save money. I have not been able to do this, still. Living here has only caused Luci intense anxiety, as my mother has continued to be abusive and manipulative. Luci is scared of the yelling and probably seeing me hurt. She started to eat her hair here. I feel horrible about moving here, but even with a job, moving out is going to cost some money that we don't have. I want to leave as soon as possible for both of us. I want us to have better. If you decide to donate, thank you so much. Anything helps us, truly.

I would also like to tell you about Luci and how special she is. Luci came into my life 11 years ago, when I was still in middle school. I had intense anxiety and depression, but having her by my side has truly helped me so much. She has been there for every move, college, my first job, my first car, and the end of an over 6-year-long relationship. Anytime it feels like I have nothing, I know I have her. She is sweet, playful, silly, and very beautiful. I've had many pets in my life, but not one like her. She deserves so much more peace and love in her life than what we have going on here.
